HDMI Forum Rejects Open-Source HDMI 2.1 Driver Support Sought By AMD - Phoronix

> For three years there has been a bug report around 4K@120Hz being unavailable via HDMI 2.1 on the AMD Linux driver. The wait continues…

This really bothers me. Closed standards locked behind a licensing fee may as well not be standards at all, in my opinion.

I don’t understand why any hardware uses HDMI anymore anyway, what does it have that displayport doesn’t?

CEC (technically I think displayport could support it, but generally isn’t implemented) and ethernet up to 100Mbps.

Almost nothing uses ethernet over HDMI to my knowledge.

This is the first time I heard of Ethernet over HDMI and I can’t tell if you’re joking.

I think they mean HDMI over Ethernet, which is a real thing, but not something I’ve ever seen in real life.

Thanks, I just threw up in my mouth.

No. Network over HDMI.
Nobody implements it, but its part of the standard
